Computer Cartoons

Boy.....does this remind me of the days when Will was at home....Will we sure do miss you....but I think we see just as much of you now!!!!
I know Will can relate to THIS ONE! When he was in college...he would screen the calls from the ward members who "used" him to fix their computers. One guy actually would come over and POUND on our door if we didn't answer the phone. He has moved out of state....lucky Will. We try hard not to overburden our computer whiz....

Reading Material

Was just reading the Wall Street Journal and found this exhibition is at the Morgan Library in New York. Apparently, this is supposed to be the most beautifully illustrated of the illuminated manuscripts of the 15th century. Also bought a companion book with the "definitive" explanations of illuminated manuscripts. I figured it's all a whole lot cheaper than flying to New York to see this stuff. I am also looking for something interesting to present at our FHE group once a month. Wish me luck! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ...the pictures of the jaws of Hell gaping open. Should produce some serious repenting this month. There are supposed to be some of the most beautiful illustrations of Bible stories in this as well. I will be expecting a lot because I think Carl Bloch does the best art of any that I have seen so far....

Just getting ready for Valentines Day

I played today...made my first Valentine house of the season. Gave it to a friend. She cried when she opened the door.....said she had a horrible week. Family problems....everybody just needs a little love...don't they?
We were just practicing the other day...trying out the heart-shaped cookie cutters on some cheese and cracker. Found a second vintage glass with cranberry edge. The pattern is called King's Crown. Hope I can find some more....another grand daughter is on the way!
Afternoon tea...with milk and snacks..... two little Princesses....

More Party Pics

Man...some people take FOREVER...to open their presents.....
If you get too close you will get your eye poked out by the corner of the package....we are all smiles to know that Chloe got her Strawberry Shortcake doll and vehicle.
If you can't read the card or open your own presents...the birthday SWARM will help you...

Let the Parties Begin!

Eli's Birthday Bash turned from Pirates to Star Wars. Here he is...chomping pizza at age 3.
Chloe has turned 3 also. A special cupcake for a special girl.
This is Lara opting out of the picture...nice work ...Lark...we can't see you or your pregnancy. Keep up the good work....
Family ......feeding time....
